Note: I live in Norway. I say just to provide some info on my situation if you are curious.

I remember one elections I must mention some funny things about. It was in 2019 during elections in September and I decided to vote before visiting the local store to shop food and drinks as well as a notebook and I had recently altered my dose of psych medications. So I went into the voting booth to choose my political party to put in the box after getting a stempel on the vote. When I came out of the booth they asked me if why I only had one vote in hand, and me being kind of distant in mind didn’t understand why they asked me about this. After coming home I late in the evening realise I didn’t vote in one of the local elections because I forgot to choose two votes! I call my mother to tell her about this event and after this I remember to choose in both votes so I can have influence in local political environment.

I hope this was interesting to you, and thank you for reading my blog ❤

Do you vote in political elections?

View all responses

yes, I vote in national and local elections. And since year 2021 I have voted in our Saami elections as well after grandmother and mother and myself also joined the samemanntallet. Being in samemanntallet means you get influence over who is elected in Sametinget located in Karasjok.

I focus on Sámi political elections because they are somewhat controversial in Norway especially among Norwegian identified right-wing Finnmark county natives. I think it’s actually hypocritical for opposition to Sametinget at same time supporting the centralised Stortinget in the Capital Oslo and the State policies. My opinion on the topic matters to me and family members as well as rest of society and for indigenous/basic human rights.

I vote in general elections, on the national level and local politicians. I also importantly can vote in Sámi elections as I’m a member of samemanntallet, we get some influence on what is decided in Sametinget. I’m not saying voting is the answer but I personally vote in the elections I have right to vote in.
